Form & Verdict
Won at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in December and won two races in space of three days about a fortnight ago (2m4f/2m7f, good to soft/good); up in the weights but clearly thriving and could have more left in the tank.

Capitalised upon some considerable help from the handicapper when winning over C&D (good) just under a year ago and returns here after a decent effort at Kelso this month, but she's nothing like the force of old and has become inconsistent.

No win since November 2021 (2m7f, Market Rasen) and well beaten on her last start over hurdles at Musselburgh late last year; sole run this year came on AW at Newcastle (2m; sixth of eight, beaten 22l at 125-1); anything but convincing despite this lowly mark.

Form & Verdict
Made it 0-12 when tailed off at Catterick (3m1f, heavy) last time but her Irish form suggests she could appreciate this return to better ground, and she's edging down the weights; not written off.

Form & Verdict
Again showed ability when keeping on for third of 14 in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in January; shapes as though she could improve for this step up in trip on handicap debut, and her pedigree bolsters that suspicion; very lightly raced and she's one to consider.

0-9 over hurdles but she was a fair second in this sphere at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in December last time behind a well-handicapped winner; this two-time chase winner (both 2m3f, good to soft) is on the shortlist.

Tailed off at Market Rasen in November and same story at Catterick last month on her sole run since; however, she may have needed that latest outing and runs off the same mark as for her win at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in September; yard's horses are running well and she's not discounted.
